HARRISBURG, Oct. 7 – State Rep. Kyle Mullins assumed the chairmanship of the Northeast Democratic Delegation after the former chairwoman, state Rep. Jeanne McNeill, was selected to lead the House Children and Youth Committee. Members of the delegation also elected state Rep. Bridget Kosierowski to serve as the delegation’s vice chairwoman.
“Our Democratic state House members from Northeastern Pennsylvania have proven themselves to be principled leaders and tireless advocates for the hardworking people who sent them to Harrisburg,” said Mullins. “I’m honored and humbled to be entrusted by my regional colleagues to lead our delegation and continue to advance the quality of life within our region. I accept this new position as a responsibility to make our special communities the very best places to live, work and raise a family.”
“It is my privilege to have been selected as the delegation’s vice chairwoman under Chairman Mullins’ leadership,” said Kosierowski, D-Lackawanna. “I’m eager to continue my support and promotion of the region’s issues and those initiatives of my fellow Northeastern PA colleagues in this delegation, as well as our business community and the region’s residents.”
Under the leadership of the previous chair and vice chair, McNeill and Mullins respectively, the Northeast Democratic Delegation supported a variety of projects, including securing millions of dollars in funding for passenger rail, airport infrastructure, and health care renovations and improvements.
The current Northeast Democratic Delegation includes 16 Democratic members from Berks, Lehigh, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton and Pike counties. In addition to the leaders mentioned above, the list includes Reps. Robert Freeman, Maureen Madden, Manny Guzman, Eddie Day Pashinski, Mark Rozzi, Steve Samuelson, Mike Schlossberg, Peter Schweyer, Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz, Kyle Donahue, James Haddock, Tarah Probst and Josh Siegel.
